News of the day

A disturbing story has broken in the UK news in recent days. Between 1997 and 2013 over 1400 children in the northen English town of Rotheram were subjected to horrific sexual, physical and psychological abuse at the hands of gangs, who it seems were nearly all of Pakistani origin.

The racial element has introduced a creepy and disturbing element to the story, as it seems that the police and council were alerted to the problems on numerous occasions but took no action for fear of being labelled 'racist' The futures of over 1000 children were sacrificed in the name of community cohesion and the legacy of a handful of so called liberal councillors.

I'm interested in understanding the psychology of the modern day 'liberal' The psychology that drives a group of supposedly well meaning individuals who are supposed to be the caring sharing 'good guys' to deliberately not draw attention to one of the most vile and appalling crimes an adult can commit; and on a wide scale. It is believed the problem goes way beyond Rotheram, and no doubt perpetrators come from all ethnic groups.

Those who covered these crimes up are the fascilitators of the crimes and in my opinion, need to be identified, arrested, charged and convicted as accessories to the crimes, and should face lengthy custodial sentences. It's now time to to start taking child abuse seriously as a society, and spit in the face of politcal correctness where where we are required to do so.

I don't expect any interest in this story. It's a difficult subject, made all the more so by the disturbing and controversial reasons the crimes were not investigated.

Reading the paper today, it does sound like a lot of people knew about this and did nothing. Beyond belief.

I think a major contributory factor for this being allowed to happen is way the liberal UK media and establishment has brought about a culture where there is terror of causing offence. Even though this particular threat was known to be from Muslim men of Pakistani origin, those in positions of responsibility (police, social services) probably feared they would be accused of demonising that community if they targeted them in investigations.It's particularly rich that the Guardian and the BBC are now wringing their hands and demanding those in positions of responsibility be held to account, when they themselves were instrumental in bringing about the PC culture that has helped cause such episodes. They are still at it now, using the mealy-mouthed term "of Asian origin" to describe the offenders. How can you tackle a problem properly if you haven't got the guts to address it head on?

There should be no correlation between a media bias and how the police tackle crime. All news outlets have an agenda, either liberal or conservative. The police should just be investigating crime and bringing crims to justice, regardless of their race or religion. That would be a demonstration of true equality; precisely what liberals say they want. Boom! Job done.

Not that it makes child abuse any more palatable, but was the abuse in question similar to the Catholic Priest scandal or radio host scandal where the person was sexually abusing children or was it a cultural issue of 12-year old girls being married off to 30-year old men in exchange for 2 goats and a cow? 

Re-read opening post about acts being committed by gangs, so sounds different than 12-year old girls being traded for cows and goats.

Yeah, it was gangs grooming young girls, plying them with drugs then abusing and trafficking them to other cities in northern england. It wasn't anything to do with forced marriages etc, and obviously this type of abuse is not restricted to any one ethnic group, or those tied to any religion, but in this case the gangs happened to be predominantly Pakistani and presumably Muslim.

After I posted, I found an article on the BBC website regarding this.  It is scary and sad to think that this stuff goes on and even more so that it goes on despite people who can do something about it knowing about it and ignoring it. 

What a sick, sick world we live in. I've come to the conclusion that the human race is fundamentally flawed and it would be better if we just wiped the slate clean and started again.

Too bad I can't travel in time. I'd just go back in time and commit a grandfather paradox so the universe would collapse in on itself and never have existed.   

Yes, it always has been a sick place. Humanity has always been fundamentally flawed. From the very beginning.

I know this is one-day-old news, but it's not too late.

Regarding the child abuse thing, I read something in the lines that it was their parents who 'sold' them to the gangs for making some money, so the parents knew but shut up because they made some money with it, that it was a sort of accepted source of income for the pakistani community there. Is that so?

^ Forgot about Africa and Asia.  I guess I did mean Euro-countries.
